The Shipwrecked Mariners’ Society is delighted to announce the results of its 2021 maritime photography competition searching for the UK’s ultimate sea view!

This year, the charity’s annual competition received more than 1,500 entries from amateur and professional photographers alike, with the judging panel awarding the overall prize to Michael Marsh for his entry, ‘The Fisherman’s Wake’, showing a stunning aerial shot of a fishing trawler taken in Whitstable, Kent.
